Point-E, unlike similar systems, "leverages a large corpus of (text, image) pairs, allowing it to follow diverse and complex prompts, while our image-to-3D model is trained on a smaller dataset of ...

Laser-scanning technology can create exceptionally detailed 3D models of cultural sites, bringing them to life online—and helping experts restore them if disaster strikes. For the last decade, the ...

In late July, researchers began crowd-sourced experiments with an Internet-based tool to translate photographs taken from many angles, of any object, into digital 3D models. The beauty in the idea of ...

Workflow of the proposed explainable modeling framework for metro tunnel inspections using backpack SLAM LiDAR. The pipeline integrates field experiments with varying operational factors, point cloud ...

3D scanning is becoming much more accessible, which means it’s more likely that the average hacker will use it to solve problems — possibly odd ones. That being the case, a handy tool to have in one’s ...

Traditional 3D models made up of surfaces have for a long time aided us in visualizing buildings and spaces, but they often come at a cost: large models require a lot of storage and processing power, ...
